I wanted to say that going into high stress situations and not having your full faculties being on alcohol or drugs shortens up your ability to navigate those situations correctly and that being sober and coming out and seeing the car gone is a completely other thing than if I had been high and came out and seen the car gone God forbid I had just gotten high and had to ride out like 4 days starting off with my car getting towed so I'm really happy with my behavior and it's nice to be able to think about what I'm doing before I just act out all crazy and s*** and I wanted to share with you guys that navigating situations when You're sober hurts less

Having a clear head when stress hits shows you how far you’ve come. You can actually think through your options instead of just reacting. The fact that you stayed sober through losing your car and handled it without spiraling shows you’re building a solid foundation. That’s the difference between surviving and actually living in recovery.
Thanks for sharing this, it’s exactly the kind of win people need to hear about.
